This weekend within a 10-mile radius of Greenville over 900 churches will gather together for their worship. Census data reveals that nearly 58 percent of Greenville County citizens will meet in churches. The respective clergy from these congregations will see over 250,000 people.

One certainty transcends differences between these churches. One stark reality should cause the eyes of Greenville's ministers to see their people with greater compassion. In every one of these congregations, ministry leaders stand in front of survivors of childhood sexual abuse.
